On August 21, 2025, at 3:15 p.m., Our beloved Celine M. Flores left this world at the age of 62, surrounded by love. Though her time here feels too short, her life was full of meaning, laughter, and unwavering devotion to her family.
Celine was the heart of her home, a woman who loved deeply and gave endlessly. she was a devoted wife to Anthony K. Ewell (51) Married since Jan 14, 2015, and together they built a life grounded in faith, love, and partnership. As a mother, she poured her heart and soul into raising her three sons- Joseph E. (42), Kristopher M. (40) Flores, and Isaiah M. Chaney (24)- guiding them with strength, patience, and the kind of unconditional love only a mother can give.
Her greatest joy was her family. She was "Grandma" to Kiley M. Flores (24) and Angel M. St.Jock (25), and her love reached another generation with her great-granddaughter, Elliana S. Decker (age 2), who brought an extra sparkle to her heart. She also shared a very special lifelong bond with her sibling, Trisha J. Hunt, who was both a sister and a dear friend.
Celine has been reunited in Heaven with the love from her Mother and Father, Roger E. McDonald and June A. McDonald (Hutchins), along with her dear little sister, Brenda J. Larson, and her grandson, Tristan T. Flores. Knowing they are all together again brings comfort and joy to her family.
Celine was known for her warm heart and the way she can light up a room with her smile, her listening ear, and her steady encouragement. She made people feel safe, loved, and cherished. Weather it was a family gathering, a quiet moment at home, or time spent at her church with friends, Celine gave herself fully to those around her.
Her legacy is not only in the family she loved and nurtured but in the countless lives she has touched and lifted up with her kindness and compassion. To know Celine was to be loved by her, and she will be remembered always for her generosity of spirit, her laughter, and her ability to see the beauty in everyone and everything around her.
Though she is no longer with us, the love Celine gave will never fade. She will live forever in the hearts of her husband, children, grandchildren, great-grandchild, sibling, extended family, and all those who are blessed to have known her.
Mom, you were our shelter,
our steady hand to hold,
A heart so kind, so selfless,
more precious than pure gold.
you taught us strength through trials,
you showed us how to stand,
But always with compassion, a soft and gentle hand.
Grandma, you were laughter,
the sunshine in our days,
You filled out hearts with stories,
and wisdom in your ways.
Though we must walk without you,
your voice still lights the way,
Your love lives within us,
and guides us every day.
So sleep now, dearest Mother,
peacefully in love's embrace,
And in our hearts forever,
will beat in love with you.
